ok...another spring is coming, another year at trying to grow a decent lawn

m thinking that maybe in the past i've put it down at the wrong
time...either too soon or too late. what signs of nature should i look for,
if any. BTW i live in central coastal New Jersey.

thanks for any tips,

All depends on what weeds you're trying to control and when they
sprout. Some sprout in the fall and are semi-dormant until spring, so
those would have to treated in the fall rather than spring. Others
sprout early spring, and others sprout in hot weather. There is no
"one-does-all" herbicide, no matter what they advertise.
